the humps in the rim - see types of profiles of tubeless tyre rims in fig. 21; to provide
this, the internal mechanism of the valve should be removed.

In terms of anchoring of the bead in its seat, the hump (H) and double hump (H2) ver-

sions provide greater safety in use, even if the inflation pressure is slightly lower than
recommended.

- Check from the position of the centring ridges that the beads are properly positioned

on the rim, and otherwise deflate, break the beads as described in the relevant sec-
tion, lubricate and turn the tyre on the rim. Repeat the mounting operation described
previously and check again.

- Replace the internal mechanism of the valve.
- Bring the pressure to the operating value by pressing the

Inflation button

5 fig. 9a.

- Fit the cap on the valve to protect its internal mechanism from dust and ensure an

airtight seal.

- Press the

Pedal

3 fig. 9c to release the turntable clamping system. Take hold of the cen-

tring handle and remove it. Release the

Pedal

3 fig. 9c.

- Operate the

Lever

8 fig. 9b and remove the wheel from the working area. With the wheel

lift on the ground, take the wheel ready for fitting on the vehicle.

Inflating tube-type tyres

- Make sure that the wheel on which the tyre has been mounted is firmly clamped to the

self-centring turntable using the centring handle 4 fig. 8a. Also make sure that the tool
head 6 fig. 8a and the top and bottom bead breaker units 9-13 fig. 8a are well clear of
the working area, if possible in the rest position.

- Connect the Doyfe union of the inflation line 20 fig. 8b to the stem of the inner tube val-

ve, after removing the cap. Inflate the tyre by pressing the relative

Pedal

2 fig. 9c in short

bursts.

The inner tube gradually expands inside the tyre. As this happens, push the inner tube

valve inward to allow the air left between the tube and the tyre to escape; this prevents
deflation and possible damage to the tube.

- Inflate, taking great care that the pressure shown on the

Air pressure display gauge

1 fig. 9a

NEVER exceeds the pressure levels recommended by the tyre producer.

- Fit the cap on the valve to protect its internal mechanism from dust and ensure an

airtight seal.

- Press the

Pedal

3 fig. 9c to release the turntable clamping system. Take hold of the cen-

tring handle and remove it. Release the

Pedal

3 fig

9c.

- Operate the

Lever

8 fig. 9b and remove the wheel from the working area. With the wheel

lift on the ground, take the wheel ready for fitting on the vehicle.

Inflation pressures

Maintaining correct pressure values is of the greatest importance for safe use of the
vehicle.
Insufficient pressure causes overheating and may drastically shorten the life of the tyre; it
reduces roadholding and may cause uneven wear (tread wear concentrated on the shoul-
ders of the tyre) and internal damage, and the tyre may even collapse. It also increases
the vehicle’s fuel consumption.
Excessive pressure makes the tyre more liable to damage in case of knocks and causes
uneven wear (wear concentrated along the centre of the tread).
